Where Food Comes From Q2 2026 Earnings Summary

Context: Despite ongoing headwinds in the flagship beef business (fewer cattle in the system and record-high beef prices), the company achieved revenue growth and improved profitability through portfolio diversification across 50+ standards in animal proteins, wine grapes, upcycled foods, and more. Key programs include CARE Certified (animal care/environmental stewardship) and RaiseWell Certified (animal welfare/traceability), with Whole Foods adopting RaiseWell for beef (270,000+ head enrolled). New initiatives include Potato Sustainability Alliance audits and USDA biochar certification. The company is renewing M&A focus after a 3-year pause and plans to file a shelf registration for flexibility.
